They bounced him out because he wanted his own theocratic autocracy....the Genevans accused him of making himself an (ersatz) pope.

And we know Jean by his fruits.

Yeah, they bounced him out and took him back and then bounced him out again. But they are the Swiss.

I didn’t know that he frequented bathhouses. Interesting. Google is indeed our friend. It appears that John Calvin was a drunkard, an adulterer and a frequent homosexual in addition to his other sterling qualities. I wonder what our Reformed brethren will say to that, or is this yet another shameful secret that they will not comment on.
